    This Black's BBQ is the original from Lockhart. If you want to enjoy a Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ restaurant this is the place to go!

    This is some of the best BBQ in Austin. Used to have to drive to Lockhart but now they have multiple locations in Austin and they do not disappoint. Meat by the pound. Also, try the mac n cheese.

    Fantastic fatty beef brisket that was amazing and melted in your mouth. Glad to taste it when the pork was sold out. Excellent sides that go with it. Also very friendly service.

    They don't have a lot of information about gluten free on their menu, but if you go to their website it has a lot of the details.

    Such delicious meats, but save at least a little room for their amazing pecan cobbler!

    Brisket was too dry... pork ribs were good, but I can get the same in New York, nothing special. Sausage was good, but nothing special. Overall advice: go to la barbecue or another famous bbq spot.

    Make sure that if you order a double portion of meat on your sandwich you have an empty stomach!

    Wasn't too impressed.. Brisket had not much flavor, but it was juicy. Potato salad not much flavor.
